Just got two sets of tickets. One set in section 109 row 7 and one in 120 row 12. Both are great seats! Just saw Kings of Leon and had the 109 row 7 seats and thought they were amazing. They're the next section from the stage so you don't have to bend your neck too much and you get a good solid view while still being close enough.

What's the price range, if you don't mind my asking. Hotels in downtown Calgary are super expensive. I think the Regency Suites is probably your best bet, and even that is probably $150/night. Check their website:
http://www.regencycalgary.com/
. It's about a 20 minute walk or 10 minute cab ride from the Saddledome.
It's an okay hotel, next door to a liquor store and there's a lot of restaurants in the area. I stayed there on a relocation package with work last year. I had no problems, but one of my friends stayed a few months after I did and she thought it was pretty dingy. To each their own, I suppose.

Can't say I know anyone who's stayed there. It's much closer than the Regency though, but I think it's a little more pricey. It's close to the train too, so you can just hop on and ride for 2 minutes to the Dome.
Too cold to walk? It depends. In January it can be anywhere from -30 C (-40 with windchill) to +15. I'd plan for cold weather. I'm likely walking or taking the train, but I've got seats, so I'll have somewhere to put my layers of clothes when I get there.
Still no answers on beers? I recommend Morgan's Pub on 17th Ave. It's an 80s metal bar and about a 10-15 minute walk from the Dome.

Nicest hotel in Calgary. Prob be the place where any of the band members would stay IF they stayed in a hotel. Close enough to get a cab to the Saddledome too.

There's not much out there in that area of town. Suggest u find a place downtown and take the train or a cab to the Saddledome. Train is 1-2 stops out of downtown and about $2.75 and a cab would be about $10 max w/tip.
Def lots more to do downtown too for bars and restaurants.

Anyone have ideas yet on where to meet up? I would suggest somewhere on 17th Ave, perhaps Melrose or there's a great pub just off of 17th on 4th Street called the Rose & Crown. Depends whether you like a pub atmosphere or a more trendy bar atmosphere. Personally like pub atmosphere, and they prob have decent food there too. You can walk to the Dome from the Rose & Crown easily (any place on 17th ave - i.e, the "Red Mile"). If it's -30 then you might be best to get a cab. There is a bar at the dome (a few of them), but atmosphere and cost might turn you off.

Rose & Crown is a good location... I'm not a huge fan of the food or the atmosphere, but you can't get much closer to the Dome. Might be hard to get a table for 5 or 6 pm on a Saturday.
I can make a reservation, how many people we looking at?
EDIT: I slept on it and it came to me all of a sudden; The Unicorn. I've been there a few times; service, drinks, and food are better than Rose & Crown imo. The selling point is it's 2 blocks away from the C Train, which gets us to the Saddledome in less than 5 minutes. Even if it's -30C we won't have to walk outside more than 3 minutes. Location is Stephen (8th) Ave. and 2nd St. SW. Menu is here:

Too bad about the meeting place. I can't convince anyone I'm going with to go to that part of town (or that bar in particular). It's a ghost town on Saturday's on Stephen Ave Mall. I still suggesting hitting up something on or just off of 17th Ave where there's some action. Even if you can't reserve/get a table it's all good to stand and have some ambience!
The Rose & Crown is a huge step up from The Unicorn. There's also some really cool places from (and including) Melrose Bar all the way down to 4th Street SW.

Jarmo, R&C is no closer than the Unicorn when you factor in that you'd have to walk from there vs. transit from the Unicorn. I think AC is just looking for a more lively scene than I am.

Fine... I don't care where, I just want a brew with some fans. Jarmo, sorry for all the commotion, change it to the Rose & Crown. I'd rather stand and eat shitty appetizers with a few fans than just have a quiet dinner for two with the wife at the Unicorn before going to see GNR.
No need to bother making a reservation, either. My only concern is that, isn't the R&C a restaurant type at dinner time? If that's the case, would they let us just stand around? If they don't, there are lots of other places to go, as AC says. Melrose is great, but again, that's a sit-down type place at that time of day.
And after the show, when everyone's all good and liquored up, I recommend hitting the Red Mile again. especially for some Tubby Dog.
Who doesn't love a hotdog that's wrapped in bacon, then deep-friedand topped with chili, hot peppers, sauteed onions, ham, eggs, and cheese?

/jarmo
They're both pubs, just not in the traditional sense, I suppose. Jarmo, I don't know what your definition of a pub is, being that we are from different parts of the world.
I'm a Newfie, so to me, a pub is like an Irish pub. You go in, sit down, buy a few pints and eat a few appetizers, while talking loudly with buddies over great music or a sports game on a big screen. The Unicorn is more of this kind of pub. The Rose & Crown is like this too, but they focus more on their food around dinner time. At say 8 pm, they are more of a pub.
Some people call a pub a place where you pay a cover to stand around drinking and try to pick up women on the dance floor while a DJ plays shitty techno music. A lot of other places on 17th are like that.
Long story short, they're both pubs. One just concentrates more on food than delivering a pub experience at dinner time.

A pub is what you find in the UK!
So yeah, a place where they serve food, but that's usually not why people go there.
Some have TVs, quiz machines, pool tables...
Disco? Nah....
Unless you start a drunken dance!

Sounds like you want the Atlantic Trap and Gill, which would be my first choice. Of course, being an East-Coaster, I'm biased, and people from Calgary don't really like the bar. It's close to a transit station, again 5 minutes from the Saddledome by train.
We're turning this into the Hamilton debate. haha...
I'm open to anywhere though, if AC is set on the Rose and Crown, I don't mind. The venue doesn't matter, as long as the beer is cold and the company is good.

So the place suggested is too far away from the venue?
/jarmo
It's definitely not convenient to walk to the venue from the Unicorn. Like the person said you would take a train. Anything off of 17th Ave SW is walkable to the venue.

Jarmo, R&C is no closer than the Unicorn when you factor in that you'd have to walk from there vs. transit from the Unicorn. I think AC is just looking for a more lively scene than I am.

Too bad about the meeting place. I can't convince anyone I'm going with to go to that part of town (or that bar in particular). It's a ghost town on Saturday's on Stephen Ave Mall. I still suggesting hitting up something on or just off of 17th Ave where there's some action. Even if you can't reserve/get a table it's all good to stand and have some ambience!
The Rose & Crown is a huge step up from The Unicorn. There's also some really cool places from (and including) Melrose Bar all the way down to 4th Street SW.
AC
Fine... I don't care where, I just want a brew with some fans. Jarmo, sorry for all the commotion, change it to the Rose & Crown. I'd rather stand and eat shitty appetizers with a few fans than just have a quiet dinner for two with the wife at the Unicorn before going to see GNR.
No need to bother making a reservation, either. My only concern is that, isn't the R&C a restaurant type at dinner time? If that's the case, would they let us just stand around? If they don't, there are lots of other places to go, as AC says. Melrose is great, but again, that's a sit-down type place at that time of day.
And after the show, when everyone's all good and liquored up, I recommend hitting the Red Mile again. especially for some Tubby Dog.
Who doesn't love a hotdog that's wrapped in bacon, then deep-friedand topped with chili, hot peppers, sauteed onions, ham, eggs, and cheese?
Tubby Dog is great.
I think the Rose & Crown is pretty good all times of the day. That time of the day might be "slower" anywhere I guess. Definitely slow on Stephen Ave on the weekends, if not a ghost town. Melrose is pretty hopping all day on Saturday's as it is the "trendy" place to go in Calgary. On the bar side it's usually pretty busy and if the weather holds up as nice as it is right now it's going to be packed. But packed is good if you want ambience. We're thinking of hitting up some sushi on 4th street for dinner and then going out for beers after that. There's also the James Joyce if someone wants a "real" pub...haha. Post what the final decision is and I'll get my peeps to come with (try anyway).
Cheers,
AC

The venue doesn't matter, as long as the beer is cold and the company is good.
Yeah!
/jarmo
At the end of the day this IS all that matters. Will let you guys all decide and will look for the "final" place closer to the show.
How are we going to recognize each other? haha.

Here's a link showing the walking distance from Melrose (farthest good place on 17th Ave S.W.) to the Venue:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=730+17+Avenue+Southwest,+Calgary,+AB+T2S+0B7+(Melrose+Cafe+%26+Bar)&daddr=MacLeod+Trail+SE+to:MacLeod+Trail+SE+to:51.038432,-114.058267&hl=en&geocode=FZbGCgMdUE0z-SHDJzPVNIWMyClz7_8KH3BxUzGuvGHMtJub-g%3BFejICgMdjpoz-Q%3BFejICgMdjpoz-Q%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=3&sz=17&via=1,2&dirflg=w&sll=51.039134,-114.056454&sspn=0.005984,0.010761&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17
Here's a link from the Rose & Crown:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=rose+and+crown&daddr=MacLeod+Trail+SE&hl=en&geocode=FVfKCgMdJ2gz-SFNoIdR865iASkZzQs9HHBxUzEjcDEf0a6lkA%3BFejICgMdjpoz-Q&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=51.039208,-114.056454&sspn=0.005835,0.010761&ie=UTF8&ll=51.03933,-114.065037&spn=0.011671,0.021522&t=h&z=16
So it's a pretty close walk. Most people from the Flames games and concerts go the 17th Ave route to the Saddledome.

Hey everyone! I was able to purchase a floor ticket! So, if anyone (or you know anyone) that wants a seat ticket, let me know. Buy me a shirt at the show and the ticket is yours! See all of you soon

So, have we decided? Unicorn or Rose & Crown? I'm open for either, I'll leave it up to J-man.
How will we recognize each other? I thought about that. look for people with GNR shirts on?
maybe just tell the girls at the front we're meeting for the GNR concert. Depending on how nice they are, they'll help us find each other. If not, we'll look for Jarmo. He'll stick out.

Cool, will do. We're off to the James Joyce on 4th Street at 5:00 for dinner and then hopefully will swing by the R&C on the way to the Dome, if not enjoy the show!

i just got home last night from a great weekend backpacking through calgary and i had a blast, also they finally activated my account
it was cool meeting everyone at the rose and crown pub last saturday, it was cool, although i was a little drunk (from drinking at a previous pub, and hence why i only ordered coke at the pub) and walking all over 17th ave (getting lost and looking for the place) but I MADE IT! i had to leave early to look for a hotel and buy some underwears...
the show was great and i will post some pictures i took of the show at the thread in the maing page.
for those interested, check my profile for my main myspace page, and im also looking forward to head to calgary soon around march of july
